SSH

SSH is short for Secure SHell, which means that you get an encrypted session on a server. This means that you can get a command line on one of the G-Bar servers.

It can be advantageous to use SSH if you are on a slow connection and need to do some work that does not require graphics. This could for instance be to copy files to your home page, or to change your password.

Install

  • Linux
    Since there is always an SSH client installed in Linux, we do not provide a copy on this USB key. Open a terminal, and write the following to log on to the G-Bar:
    ssh [student ID]@login.gbar.dtu.dk
  • Windows
    The free client Putty is one of the better choices for Windows.
    Download and install.
  • OSX
    Since SSH is installed from the beginning on OSX, we do not provide it on this USB key. Use it like you would on a Linux system. You can find the terminal using Spotlight. Open a terminal, and write the following to log on to the G-Bar:
    ssh [student ID]@login.gbar.dtu.dk
